We hear stories of gun violence every day. Domestic disputes turning deadly. Street crimes taking the lives of innocent people. Mass shootings wreaking havoc in our public spaces. Suicides and fatal accidents devastating families across the country. The unrelenting toll of America’s gun violence epidemic leaves 100,000 people injured or killed every year in communities nationwide. But while the number of people affected by this crisis is staggering – 86 people die by guns every single day – it’s almost equally shocking to find that legislators nationwide aren’t doing everything in their power to prevent the killings.

Plenty of widely supported policies can reduce gun violence, but, in many states, they aren’t being adopted. In fact, a number of states have chosen to pass measures that actually make it more difficult for law enforcement, doctors, and local officials to work to reduce gun deaths and injuries.

In fact, a number of states have chosen to pass measures that actually make it more difficult for law enforcement, doctors, and local officials to work to reduce gun deaths and injuries.

False. Not one law makes any of those persons jobs "more difficult".

States received negative points for having irresponsible measures that increase the likelihood of gun violence. These measures include:

•“Shoot First” laws(1), which gained national attention after the death of Trayvon Martin because they can prevent law enforcement from prosecuting shooters in public places;
•“Firearms Freedom Act”(2) laws, which declare that federal gun laws do not apply to firearms manufactured and sold within a state’s borders; and
•Laws that prevent doctors from informing their patients(3) about the health risks associated with firearm ownership.

1. No such laws anywhere.
2. Many Federal laws would still apply.
3. No such laws anywhere.

Because strong gun laws are clearly associated with lower death rates, legislators should work to save lives in their communities by enacting smart gun laws.
